Two words for this survey: Absolute Nonsense!
Business Insider is consistantly leftist. Borders on propoganda. On a par with Yahoo news.
The report is crunching State government provided numbers.
I don’t believe any of it after reading which States are where. I do believe North Dakota, and I do believe Texas, but the ranking for New York, and my own State of California tell me this report is bullshit.
Jerry Brown himself...probably provided the California Numbers.
Interesting stat.
Obviously a situation that can only go on until the markets puke on the fake money.
Can you cite your reliable source please?
On Nov. 25, 2012, Forbes.com published an article by William Baldwin, an investment strategies contributing writer, that asked, Do You Live In A Death Spiral State?

I think it is safe to say that NOTHING is what is seems, in any state, beginning with Federal Unemployment Numbers.
The Truth About Chicago’s Crime Rates (cooking the books)

The link between drugs and crime, including violent crime, would be hard to overstate in Chicago. Eighty-six percent of adult males arrested in Chicago last year tested positive for drug use. Chicago, with a population of 2.7 million, had 506 murders in 2012, the highest per capita among the four most populous U.S. cities.
N.Dakota, Texas, Alaska ...Louisiana 19th
Florida claims to be low because the state lost 1,600 jobs in July. How can they rank one individual state because of job loss during a particular month?
Florida overall unemployment as of July averaged 6.2 which is better than well ranked New York and Alaska.

This is the stupidest thing I have ever seen .today.
Thanks for the laugh though.
I call horse pucky on this. California’s economy is in its death throes, among others, and probably being propped up by the administration.
I’d love to see who they are going to.
